Maratha Gallantry

Bajirao Mastani (Hindi) is the love story of Peshwa Baji Rao I and his second wife the Rajput princess Mastani (Deepika Padukone). First wife Kashibai (Priyanka Chopra) also plays a significant role. The film is set against the backdrop of the Peshwas going headlong against the Mughal empire

What-ever

...and this is where I part ways with the Vigil Idiot. A movie like Chennai Express (Hindi) was not meant to make any sense whatsoever. There is the cast of characters - the boy who has scant regard for tradition, the feisty girl who is the daughter of a South Indian .. er... thug, who finally ropes him in, the illogical sequences and songs... why was it ever supposed to make any sense?! Which does not take away from the fact that the movie does drag in parts

Flagging Race

Race 2 moves fast, entices, glitters with Jacqueline Fernandez and Deepika Padukone glam, but does not captivate. Ranvir Singh (Saif Ali Khan) is on a  revenge trip against Turkish don Armaan Malik (John Abraham), but whether Armaan’s girlfriend Omisha (Jacqueline Fernandez) and sister Elena (Deepika Padukone) are friend or foe, are to be determined over the course of the movie’s many twists and turns. In the end, Race 2 is an entertainer that does not quite live up to its hype
